Brandywine Bay

Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.

Benjamin Franklin

Brandywine Bay provided us with a solution. The problem was that one of our crew had to leave us early, catch the morning ferry in Road Town, and rejoin the real world via the airport on St Thomas. Roadtown is a busy, crowded place with no moorings and limited anchorage. We were not up for a night in a marina, so we looked for a nearby anchorage, and Brandywine Bay was it. The original plan was to motor the short distance to Road Town and dinghy the sad departing crew member to the ferry dock. But alas, the ferry dock does not have a convenient dinghy dock. But Brandywine Bay does; from there, it’s a short taxi ride to Road Town.

The real perk to this solution is the Brandywine Bay Restaurant. The owners put in the moorings, which are gratis for those who dine at the restaurant. The dinghy dock is on the bay’s east side, and from there, is a fifty-yard uphill walk to the restaurant. The little hike will prepare you for a round of signature drinks before an elegant meal. I chose the paella, as it contains octopus, which I used to tease a squeamish crew member. Connecting with my inner child or just childish … you decide.
